Why Does Miraz Jordan Like Teaching Micro.blog Beginners?

at 8:55

From the episode: Episode 64: Customise Your Microblog with Miraz Jordan, aka @Miraz

Answer

Miraz Jordan tells Micro Monday that much of the help around Micro.blog is written for people who are already past the basics. She likes total beginners because she can change a lot by teaching what everyone else assumes they know. She learned that earlier, running internet classes for mostly older adults at a local third-party Apple shop, before Apple had its own stores. A simple demonstration was enough to unlock the room. The same instinct shapes her customization tutorials: start with a site title or a heading color, and only later ask a reader to touch HTML. The gap she wants to close is the one experts no longer notice.
